Portrait Practice

Sarah and Cristina willingly agreed to model for me on a spur the moment portrait session we did while they were over one day. I'd been wanting to practice taking portraits at a wide aperture and they were at the right place at the right time. :)

It was early in the evening, so the sun was low and there was lots of open shade, my favorite type of lighting.

Thanks for letting me practice on you, girls!

My Siblings // Autumn Portraits

The other evening, quite randomly and suddenly, decided I wanted to take some fall pictures. The lighting was perfect for portraits, although it was a bit chilly outside. I had Tiana, Alina, and Daniel dress in some fall-ish clothes: sweaters, boots, scarfs, and such. I was able to try some new poses, which I found on Pinterest. There are so many awesome ideas on there! After we finished, we went inside and ate candy corn. Yep, I like fall.

Adorable Kitty

It's kinda funny, because I think I probably have taken more pictures of the neighbors cat, Gino, than of our own cats. You'd think that our two cats, who will be turning seven this month, would sit still longer than a young kitty around a year and a half old, but that's not the case. That's okay though, cause Gino is such a pretty cat. Siamese will always be my favorite, but I love his light green eyes. And I think our cats like having a buddy to play with.
